Oik third page to-day contains an account of Po9t-Terminal proceedings of the Supreme Court. Rkv. Wμ. Gkaham lectures on »4 Ireland's Cause," before the members of St. Andrew's Literary and Musical Association, in the basement of the Kirk, on Thursday evening next at 8 o'clock. It is stated that another Berlin doctor bas discovered the influenza bacillus, and it appears that both he and Dr. Pfeiffer have succeeded in rearing it artificially. An incident which looks a good deal like tampering with a ballot paper is reported to us from No. Five Ward. Perhaps Coun* cillor Morison will be good enough to rise and explain. An old lady named Dawe, of Colley's point, whilst drawing a bucket of water from a well in the vicinity of her dwelling, a few days since, was seized with a paralytic fit, which resulted in death shortly afterwards. Sbe was 64 years of age. It v stated that the Benevolent Irieb Society's Dramatic Club are preparing to bring out another fresh play. Ttie popularity of the Club warrants the members in expectiog a large amount of patronage. our contemporary the Herald will be a little surprised to learn thai the Ryaus and the Pitt man 3 of Burin district are determined to return two warm supporters of the Government again at the next general election. Such, however, appears to be the case. Another important shipping disaster i«* reported. This lime the German steamer Eider gets wrecked on the Isle of Wight. No lo3d of life is reported. The Eider is said to be one of the iinest ships in the German freight and passenger trade. We u-.u\ h> be under the impression that all tbe faction lighting was done in the Old Country. Such, however, is not true. News reaches us to-day that a severe battle of this nature tins been fought iv Kentucky, la winch live men were killed and twelve ! wounded. Tin: total amount collected at the Churcu of Kogland mission meetings, held at Bay Roberts, week before last, was 8115.20. The largest amount raised at any former seriedot meetings watsllo Another proof of improved times under our present proyressive Government! The Rev. Father Veitch delivered an excellent address to the people of Conception Harbor, Colliers and Bacon'd Cove, at a mectiug for the formation of an agricultural society in the lirat-named place, on tbe 25th ultiojo. There's* a healthy, and invigorating ring in the reverend gentleman's sentiments. ' ■ . The impetus given to agricultural pursuits by our present Government is gathering strength and momentum ac it rolls through the district of Harbor Main. Under the encouraging auspices of Messrs. Morris and Woodford, representatives of the people there, several agricultural eocieties have been formed, and preparations are being made for a vigorous cultivation of the soil on the opening of Spring. Tin: Newfoundland Bank fishing fleet in 1891 numbered 27!) vessels; 15,212 tons; the number of men employed was 3,719 ; tbe quantity of lish taken was 147,948. Tbe average catch per schooner was 530 qtla. and the average catch per man was 40 qtls. It, may be added thst tbe vessel which brought in the largest catch for tbe season was Messrs. John Munn & Co.'s fccoooner Marg J/., Capt. Neil, her total being 2,350 quintals. "PLAYGOER, NO. 2" On riie Merits of Our Dramatic Companies. TlK' 15. I. m. i oin|»uii> h Position. Kditor " Evening Telegram." Dear !Sik,—In one of last oigut'e papers, 1 outicc ** l'iaygoer " eeeke for information as to whether the H I. S. Dramatic Troupe are going to put any more plays on this seastn. Thie question has been asked by niauy within the past fortnight. Apparently, they are not going to favor the public daring the et*y of the SmeAm Tlill* Company. Why, I rviH at a loss to know. Surely it BtQDot '■ from fear of comparison. J have lieaiii uiauy flay, ami my opioioo is, that the 8.1.5. can compare favorably in many points with tbe Josie Mills Company, and that if they were to produce a play now, tbe audience they would draw would be a bumper one. One thing I must say in reference to ourselves is that we are too ready to take strangers by the band, and leave our own to Fish for Thenieelvee. We take everything for granted that is said about strangers, and what they are able to do; in fact, we are easily gulled. Again, I notice by tbe criticisms in the papers a feeling of partiality for tbe strangers. Why, when a play wae produced by our amateurs, some of the papers came forward and criticised freely; defects in acting, scenery, etc., were pounced upon and shown up, and why not do the same with tbe Josie Mills Company? Their acting and make-up may ba very good, but the scenery right through has been miserable. They do not even seem to know how to use what they have properly ; yet not a word is said about it; I hi* would not be to if the fault wt re committttd by our own. Thee Look n< It Tl|i* VI a> This troupe came here to make money and wbf n they leave they will have two or three thousand dollars of our money in their pockets; money that we have given to strangers for an article tbe equal of which we can produce, and have produced ourselves. The Atheca'jm Lectures and Entertainments—liiok how they have been patronised since opened ! We ought to cry shame on ourselves. If those two or three thousand dollars were put towards the objects the B. IS Dr.matic Company and Atheca-am woik Iw—and in working for do their utmost to pi*, -ne us and give us Value tor Our Money —would not wp and our city be so much better off, i osteal of having it leave the country, and nothing gained? Now, Mr. Kditnr, I hope the 8.1.S Dramatic Company will come forward, and show us what they can do ; and come hefore us ere the Josie Mill* Company leave here, so that we can have a fair chance of judging between ihein, auil cotivircing ourselves that what we have In-en li»»inl to by the li I S Dramatic Company is iv no wise inferior to wuat others are able to ptodaee. Then, again, they need not fear our criticism, because The Public of Mt. John * knows that to appear before an audience after a s-liott rehearsal, &ucb as the limited time of the members of the B I.S. only allows them, and to compete with professionals, sho*> ability of no mean order. Apologizing for taking up so much space in your valuable paper, Mr. Editor, I remain, yours, etc., PLAYGOKR No. 2. St. John's, Feb. 2, 1892. LOCAL EVENTS. Mr. Charles Foran's Catch.—Thirteeo trout made up Mr. Charles Koran's catch yesterday. They are of a large run, and were caught in the river flowing out of Quidi Vidi PoDd, behind the English Church. This morning he represented one of them to weigh 3 pounds, but a keen angler, seeing it, bet him that it would not weigh 2 pounds. The bet was accepted, the trout weighed and turned out half an ounce short, whereupon CLarle6 confessed having previously weighed it, and that it was a little over 2 pounds. He didn't allow for shrinkage. However, it was a choice trout. ♦ Choked With Ice.—The recent rains and mild weather loosened the ice-bed of the Wateiford Bridge River, and, the freshet rising, the pans were borne down on the bosom of the eurge to Browning's Bridge. There they choked the arch and formed an ice-barricade which extended up to the dam, the stream mounting in a deluge up both banks, and threatening to overflow the bridge. This latter was prevented by the appearance of a crew of Municipal laborers, who dislodged tlie obstruction and made a free channel for the torrent. ♦ Latest Stroke of Enterprise.—lt will have been observed from our advertising columns last evening, that the new building on Water Street, erected by Mr. J. W. Koran, will be used by him for the purposes of a commission business and the transaction of an import and export trade. Mr. F. >ias shown a vast ileal of enterprise and courage in his various undertakings, all of which, like the Atlantic Hotel and the City Rink, have been distinguished for the large scale on whipli they wtte carried out.
